Sclerotherapy

What is Sclerotherapy?

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the skin’s surface. Sclerotherapy is a highly effective treatment that minimizes the look of spider veins. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a sclerosing agent directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade from the skin. Sclerotherapy offers a safe and efficient solution for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of spider veins and regain confidence in their skin’s appearance.

Candidates for Sclerotherapy

Ideal candidates for sclerotherapy are individuals unhappy with the appearance of spider veins on their legs or other body areas. While spider veins are often considered a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes cause discomfort, itching, or aching sensations after prolonged periods of standing or sitting. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their treatment outcomes. The best way to determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment is through a consultation with Dr. Nowak.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

The sclerotherapy procedure is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour to complete, depending on the extent of your condition. Before the procedure begins, the skin is cleansed, and the targeted veins are identified. Using a fine needle, the sclerosing agent is injected directly into the spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade. Compression stockings or bandages may be applied to the treated area to help compress the veins and promote healing.

Sclerotherapy Recovery

Recovery after sclerotherapy allows individuals to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Mild side effects, including bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, may occur but typically resolve within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for a few days following the treatment to minimize side effects and optimize results.

Sclerotherapy Results

Your results after sclerotherapy will become more apparent over several weeks as the treated veins are absorbed by the body and fade. While some individuals may notice an improvement after just one treatment session, most require multiple sessions to achieve their desired outcome.
